He was the life of the company. Very cheerful, positive. He loved Ukraine very much. As a true patriot, he could not sit quietly at home when the Russian Federation launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine. Without hesitation, he went to the military enlistment office, volunteered, and bravely defended his Homeland. He fulfilled his dream and got married on February 25, 2023. When he found out that he was going to Bakhmut, he said that he was very sorry for me, that I would remain a widow. Unfortunately, this is what happened..." - the widow of the deceased said.
